My eyes snapped up to hers. There was fear reflected through the blue orbs. Not fear of my touch, I realized, but fear of how she was feeling.

"No. I think I've been waiting forever for this moment."

She licked her lips. "Yeah, I think maybe you're right."

Good, she was with me. I wasn't a fool. I knew she was still apprehensive, but in time she'd see how good we could be together. I was falling for this woman. I hadn't reached the bottom yet, but it was only a matter of time. I just needed to push her over the edge to join me.

Despite the drive to slam into her, I knew she would need some care to be ready to take me because I was not a small guy. I dragged my teeth across my bottom lip, ready to feast on the woman who had completely taken over my mind over the last few months.

I parted the lips of her pussy with my fingers, and exposed her further to my gaze. Not able to hold back any longer I buried my face in her folds, taking in the smell of her arousal. The first swipe of my tongue had her legs squeeze against my head. I chuckled against her flesh, but her action only drove me on. I kept steady pressure against her clit, swiping my tongue around the tiny bundle of nerves, adding in a scrape of my teeth, making her legs start to shake against my head.

I used my fingers to drive her higher. Her walls squeezed hard on my fingers, making my cock twitch in anticipation. She was tight. Not that I had any doubt about her claim not to have been with anyone in a couple of years, but it was more than clear with my fingers buried in her pussy.

Her walls clamped even harder around my fingers, and I worked her harder until she was writhing underneath me. Working my way deeper into her cunt, I found the spot that made her gasp and shutter. I curled my fingers against the spot working her without mercy. Wordless sounds spilled from her mouth as her orgasm took her away.

"That's one," I said.

She blinked, slowly coming back down from the high of release. "One what?"

"I'm going to make you come a lot today. That was only the first time."

JANA

Now you're mine.His words rang through my mind making my body tingle in anticipation. If I was honest with myself, his words thrilled me. I've been trying to convince myself this marriage was more of a business arrangement, but I would be fooling myself not to admit I had feelings for Colter Greyson.

My body felt boneless after the attention he showed me. I thought I'd had decent sex. I was wrong. He was still dressed, and I was a quivering mess.

He licked his full bottom lip, and I had to stifle a moan. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that those lips were about to cover every inch of my body. A marriage of convenience or not, there was an attraction simmering between us.

"You're counting my orgasms?" I asked after I managed to find my voice.

His voice dropped low. "I've ached for you for months now. I can't get you out of my head, and I've tried. Now that you're here, I'm counting every experience with you. I was so close to not getting to have this in my life. To have you."

I swallowed a ball of emotion threatening to choke me. "You tried not to want me?"

Damn my insecurities all to hell. Of all the things he'd just told me, that was the one thing I chose to latch on to?

Colter's eyes narrowed, and he huffed a humorless laugh. "There's a long list of reasons I should have walked away from what's growing between us. God help me, I can't. It doesn't matter to me that you're my daughter's best friend, that you're twelve years younger than me, or hell, that you're friends with my stepsister.

"I know you're worried about what Evie is going to think. That you believe this is some kind of business transaction. But know this, I'm going to show you exactly what kind of marriage we're going to have."

My heart pounded hard against my ribs. I tried to suck in a full breath, but all I could manage were shallow panting inhales. "You mean there's more?"

His answering smile chipped away a bit of the hardness surrounding my heart. "I'm just getting started."

"Yeah?"Real articulate,I chided myself.

"I'm going to have you in every way I've been imagining. There isn't a part of your body I don't intend to claim. You are going to be my wife, not just in front of others, but behind closed doors too."

Yes, please.My traitorous body was fully on board with his plans. I tried to convince myself on the drive up here that he wasn't serious about having a physical relationship. Not that I managed to believe my own lies, but being this close to finding out what he had going on under those tailored suits was making my brain short circuit.

He rose back to his feet and slowly worked the tiny buttons of his dress shirt free. Each one caused his shirt to gape a little more and expose the muscular chest I'd only gotten a hint of in his designer clothes.

When his shirt was undone my mouth gaped open. I knew he was built, but the man before me was more than I could have imagined. His torso was cut with powerful slabs of muscle, but that wasn't what had my blue eyes blinking in awe. Several tattoos covered his body. He wasn’t completely covered in ink, but each one was in contrast to the businessman I'd taken him for.

The corner of his mouth curved up at my response, but he didn't stop shedding his clothes. His fancy trousers dropped next, and he kicked them off along with his socks and shoes.
